If you want to try something new especially during this rainy season, let me recommend the this delicious Tapa Flakes meal from Gubat. The UP Diliman restaurant has become a source of joy for me and my family during the pandemic. We have become patrons of their binalot meals, and they always arrive fresh and hot.
Please support them and order here. Enjoy!
Today, my BDJ Spark Your Magic workbook assigned to me this journaling prompt:
“When was the last time you laughed out loud? What was it about? Who were you with? Were you alone or with a good friend?”
I last laughed out loud while watching the Magulo Na Bacarros weekly vlog. I am a regular listener of the Wake Up With Jim and Saab podcast, so their vlog has also become a part of my routine.
I adore Saab Magalona and Jim Bacarro’s two sons Pancho and Vito. Their laughter and playtime makes me so happy. I feel like their playmate whenever I watch their vlog. I usually do so by myself while crocheting at home.
I look forward to each vlog episode because I remember the innocence of childhood and how awesome it is to be happy with the simplest joys. I hope to regain the ability to be glad with life’s everyday surprises!
I am so excited for Monday’s vlog episode!
I recently finished crocheting a lap blankie using Lion Brand’s I Wanna Make a Blankie yarn. I purchased it from local small business Cozy by Mei.
It took me a fortnight to finish this. I used a size 10mm hook and chained 60 for the foundation chain. Then, I worked a double crochet stitch in all chains for a total of 41 rows.
I highly recommend this project as it is satisfying to create your own blankie. It is perfect for cozy nights, and I personally wrap it around myself while reading.
Happy crocheting!
Yesterday, I got to explore BGC. I tried the famous banana pudding of M Bakery for the first time, and loved it! I also had a hearty convenience store lunch and some satisfying private reading at Fully Booked.
They say that our city does not have enough parks. I beg to disagree. We just have to maximize the open spaces that we’ve got, and enjoy what our city has to offer.
Can’t wait for the next weekend!
Yesterday, I knitted at Cafe Mary Grace while eating lunch. I had my favorite chorizo and olives pasta, which was a delightfully hearty meal.
I also had coffee after my meal.
By the time I got home, I was greeted by my online shopping from Gantsilyo Guru.
I bought yarns and notions, which included a pair of 4.5mm knitting needles in PINK!
Opening the needles felt like a Harry Potter moment.
In addition to that, I also got point protectors so my knitting won’t slip from my needles when stored inside my handbag. I also got a bamboo crochet hook in 5.5mm, which is perfect for my usual yarn.
I am happy to have discovered yarn crafts, and I am also glad that my tools are affordable and accessible. I hope to enjoy more opportunities to knit, crochet, and create.
